Brooking No Argument that we'll get BFPs from our Easter Eggs

Tricks lovely to see you, I have been thinking of you and how you and DH are getting on. Are you back for a while??

Cups when do you start your new job?

Geek lovely, how are you doing? How is the metformin treating you, has the dose been increased yet?? What is next on your agenda?

I have forgotten everything else I have read so I will brook for speedy appointments, successful treatments and no nasty down reg side effects :):)

kitty its just a blood test. I would have thought you would still need some form of treatment to zap the cells as well. but I might be wrong. the consultant I saw slightly tailors the treatment to each person. the difficult thing is not all medical professionals believe in the theory. what's made you think about this, if you don't mind me asking? if you visit the TTC on prednisolone part 10 thread someone there would know the answer to any question you might have.

Hello Face it's lovely to see you. How are you doing?

Beedle hope you get everything sorted out with your boss. Fingers crossed you can sort it by doing that extra work but I'm sure he will be understanding if you need to explain it all to him.

Sweetie have you got a date for your scan yet? I was thinking about you yesterday as I was looking after a lovely little boy who was conceived via donor egg IVF (he is a twin btw!)

Well I've finished work!! Yesterday was my last day. We had cakes & lots of hugs. I've got a leaving meal to look forward to next week. I'm really going to miss my colleagues not the job or the managers I hope my new team are as nice.

AF is not due over the weekend for me. I'm stupidly getting my hopes up as we have dtd lots over the past month.

cartoon (aka person who seems to know everything!), how do they test for nk cells? If I do have them, do you know if iui will still work?

depends a bit on the day keep today I'm ok. just kinda feel like we're waiting for something to happen and this one appointment might not be the end of the wait.

Very well thank you! Looking forward to lots more grads in the next couple of months. Not too long till your appointment now, but that's been quite a wait for you. How are you doing?

not sure, that was ment to say! d'oh

beedle I'm sure I tend to get obsessive and spend every minute here!
but I'm ok. time seems to be on go slow but we'll get there.
keep our appointment is 29th may.
how are you?
how is everyone?!

face! When's your follow up appointment, should be soon I think?

solars a combination of minor things can all add up I guess. Even borderline things. I think our issue was getting sperm to meet egg, with poorish morphology, and maybe I was slightly wrong ph or something. I agree, worth trying it all.

yes you can, I didn't but I think olives did. don't think you can get all the treatment on NHS though.

Thanks cartoon, do you know if its something I can get tested on the nhs? 24 months down the line and still no answers!

solars I was told to take an additional 25mcg of Vit D on top of what was in the preg multi vitamin. x

not me solars I was having the intraliped drips.

Thank you so much Olives & Face that's really interesting I will definitely look into the thread Olives. I'm taking the Zita West pre-concep vits which contain (1000IU/25ug) vit D3 which I hope is enough and I have also been taking omega 3. I got a copy of my immune results today and from what I can see only a couple of my nk levels are only just elevated above what they consider ok for fertility, but DH and I had a long chat about it today and decided to put our faith in the clinic (considering their success rates etc) and just go on what they advise. All that has been going through my head today is what is the issue then with me and DH as surely the slightly raised NK cells can't be the real issue. Perhaps it's a combination of age, endometrioma, NK cells who knows but we just want our baby now :( I think the IVIG is freaking me a little too, but you had this didn't you Face? I do hope all is well with you, lovely.

A big all encompassing wave to everyone else, will post properly tomorrow.

de lurking for nk cell chat. not that I've lurked much.
vits wise same as olives said asprin, vit d. but also preg multi vits plus omega 3. that they wanted me to take from at least 8wks before TTC which is a standard for everyone I believe.
its natural killer cells kitty

The sun is out now so positively bronzed and a bit pink

What are nk cells? Xxx

solars You are right in thinking I have high NK cells. The treatment plan for me was prednisilone, vit D and aspirin and it was all on the NHS - they wouldn't have paid for intralipid treatments though, although from what I understand that is only required if you have very high NK cells. I do know that levels due go up and down over time and some ladies who had very high levels were retested and found to have normal levels on the thread I was on. Probably worth having a read there as the ladies have a wealth of info, can't link on my phone but its in Conception and is called something like ttc on prednisilone.

arf @ go faster stripe

It really has been beautiful out today :):)

Deffo what sparks said - I've just managed to sunburn a go-faster stripe onto my arm

Ah man, keep please send some bankok weather to samui!!! There's only so much game of thrones we can watch...

No rain here, or just the odd shower kitty...

Keep how the f* did you get sunburnt? It's been raining pretty much since we got here :-(
